Bogga subsequently returned to his stronghold on the moon of Vo Dasha, although he remained committed to exacting revenge on Master Thon and obtaining the Adegan crystals. In the meantime, Bogga loaned a security crew to protect an Ithullian ore hauler, a ship that was under the threat of attack by pirates. The pirates were defeated, and their leader, a being named Finhead Stonebone, was captured and brought to Vo Dasha in chains. Bogga decided to spare Stonebone's life on one condition: that Stonebone would journey to Ambria, kill Master Thon, and obtain the crystals. Stonebone consented to the arrangement and left for Ambria. However, this third attempt to obtain the crystals failed like the previous two, as Thon and the newly trained Jedi Nomi Sunrider defeated Stonebone in a pitched battle.

The chase brought Bogga and his crew to Ambria, where Sunrider had gone to find Jedi MasterThon. While in the skies above Ambria, and after threatening to let Ktriss kill and devour Gudb, Bogga gave Gudb another chance and sent him with a team of enforcers to the surface of Ambria to retrieve the crystals while he remained in orbit. The enforcers boarded the Lightside Explorer, only to find that the Adegan crystals were not on board. However, Gudb discovered that the prize was at Master Thon's compound, along with Nomi Sunrider.[2]

Gudb relayed this news to Bogga, who ordered his convoy to travel to Thon's compound. Upon reaching Thon's home, Bogga spied a herd of staga beasts and told his underlings to slaughter the animals for food. While Bogga and his lackeys worked, they were confronted by a single Jedi, the VultanOss Wilum, Thon's Padawan. Outnumbered, Wilum was quickly defeated, and Bogga ordered Gudb to execute the Jedi. Suddenly, Gudb was interrupted by a large beast—revealed to be Master Thon himself—that attacked and decimated Bogga's group. Realizing that they had no chance of survival if they stayed and fought, Bogga's crew fled the encounter.[2]

"I have but one enemy I cannot forgive. A lowly beast who dares to name himself 'Master Thon.' This so-called Jedi has something precious that rightfully belongs to Bogga! Kill this 'Master Thon' for me, and I will overlook your despicable crimes. Bring me the Adegan crystals and I might even let you work for me."

Some time after the failed raid on Ambria, Bogga was paid a fortune by Gruna, the captain of an Ithullian ore hauler, to protect his ship from pirates. Bogga sent him a security detail that was put to work when the ship was attacked by ore raiders. However, Bogga's henchmen were quickly and easily killed by the pirates, who were led by a being named Finhead Stonebone. Although the pirates believed that they had captured the vessel, Bogga's enforcers surprised them by dropping out of hyperspace in the Hutt's dreadnaught, Enforcer One. The group captured Stonebone and his ship, the Marauder Starjacker, transporting them to Bogga's private moon, Vo Dasha. At the time, Bogga was sitting on his throne alongside Ktriss, berating Gudb for failing to obtain the Adegan crystals. Receiving word that the pirates had been brought to Vo Dasha, Bogga ordered his servants to bring Stonebone and the other pirates before him. Bogga threatened Stonebone at first, then told him that his crimes would be overlooked if he killed Master Thon and retrieved the crystals. However, Stonebone refused. An angered Bogga decided to release Ktriss on the prisoners, and the beast devoured Stonebone's First Mate, Roko.[4]

As Ktriss ate the remains of Roko, Stonebone made an about-face and decided to accept Bogga's offer. Pleased by Stonebone's submission, the Hutt ordered the pirate to carry out his mission at once.[5] Bogga also ordered Gudb to accompany them and gave him chains capable of subduing even a Jedi.[3] Finhead Stonebone took a group of his pirate associates and several of Bogga's enforcers along with him to Ambria, where they broke into Master Thon's compound and retrieved the Adegan crystals. On their way back to their ship, however, the group was interrupted by the arrival of Master Thon and Jedi trainee Nomi Sunrider. Stonebone and the pirates were promptly attacked by the two Jedi, and Stonebone limped back to Bogga without the Adegan crystals.[5]

Bogga was a ruthless, unscrupulous Hutt who chose to make his living through crime. He commanded the respect of his enforcers and was widely feared throughout the Stenness Node, but would quickly berate and threaten his underlings if they failed him in any way. Bogga held respect for the Jedi Knights' abilities, although he did not hesitate in ordering Gudb to kill Andur Sunrider.[2] When agitated, the Hutt had a tendency to start sentences in his native Huttese language.[4] Additionally, Bogga often referred to himself in the third person.[5] He developed an obsession with Andur Sunrider's Adegan crystals and sanctioned repeated missions to retrieve them at any cost.[4] He also developed a deep and unrelenting hatred toward Master Thon, referring to him a "lowly beast" and ordering Finhead Stonebone to kill him.[5] Bogga fawned over his pet, Ktriss, and it could almost always be found by his side. The crime lord often threatened to unleash Ktriss on both enemies and underlings who had failed him. Bogga preferred to be addressed with ornate and elaborate titles, such as "Great and Well-Proportioned Bogga" or just "Great Bogga." He also called himself "The Merciful One" and saw a compassionate side to himself. Because of this, Bogga decided to spare Finhead Stonebone, despite his hatred of Stonebone's pirate gang.[4]
